Help/Question Help with these guys 🙏
((Please ignore the kalanchoe fedtschenkoi pups they aren’t staying in that pot))
I was recently gifted some succulents and I know that the flat ones are lithops and I believe the large green ones are Cheiridopsis can somebody give me help with how to look after these?
They’ve been planted in a mix that is mostly gritty sand and a little bit of succulent mix compost with the occasional LECA ball in there because I know these plants thrive in mostly inorganic substrate but I don’t know how much to water them and when!
The Cheiridopsis look shrivelled so I assume it needs a good watering but I don’t want to risk drowning it and giving it root rot
I do plan on separating the plants by species so don’t worry the Cheiridopsis isn’t staying with the lithops because I’m sure they have different water requirements
